My new-found love of crochet resulted in the purchase of this fabulous book. A novice like myself could not have asked for a more practical, inspiring, and user-friendly book than this! Every project is beautiful. The book begins with basics and how-to’s, and ends with an extensive “dictionary” of stitch patterns, trim patterns, and adorable flowers and motif patterns. My fingers can’t keep up! And since I rarely sit down with idle time on my hands {pun intended}, I’ve been maximizing every opportunity for crocheting: riding in the passenger seat, proctoring tests with the kiddos, movie nights… …here’s a little show and tell of my {imperfect} little creations: Have I inspired you to crochet? Check out Crochet Adorned: Reinvent Your Wardrobe with Crocheted Accents, Embellishments, and Trims…and you, too, will be hooked.
